⚠️Why the name change?

The old name Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) was misleading. It overemphasized "cysts" on the ovaries (which aren't always present or central to the condition) and suggested it was primarily a reproductive/gynecological issue from its 1935 origins.

PMOS better reflects the condition's multisystem nature: it involves endocrine (hormonal imbalances, including androgens), metabolic (insulin resistance, higher risks of type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease—up to 85% of cases), ovarian (reproductive impacts like irregular periods and fertility issues), plus effects on skin, mental health, and more.

✔️Goals: To Reduce stigma, improve diagnosis (many women wait years), encourage holistic care beyond fertility, and boost research/policy focus.
